People also don't think about the EROEI -- which is why they wave away the limitations of supply of the things needed to make the "green revolution" happen the way they want it to with their magic "future technology government investment" wand.

Same wand that is so glittery that they can't see past it to see those kids behind it mining their cobalt.....

Ever studied the progression of copper mines? The concentrations of the ores just keeps dropping.....

And for crying out loud -- how can they not see the difference between an energy source (coal, wind, geothermal, oil, biomass) and an energy translator (electric and hydrogen)?
